Yea, I found out the hard way about the vent on the invader hood. I had it with a KA underneath and it rained right on the disributor and it took a while to get the car to run right on the way home from work that day. On the VIS Evo hood on my civic it has a cover that bolts under neath the vents on the hood, and that helps 100%. I'm doing an S15 front end conversion on my current one and will probably get a vented hood on that as well, but it will never see bad weather so I could care less. What rims are you thinking about getting btw?

I actually realy like the 5zigen typhoons but appearently they're discontinued now so i mite have to search around and find them used? i think they come in 17x7.5 in front and 17.8.5 in rear... not sure.. but I want something staggered and at least 8 in the rear with 4 lug... I was considering the FN01R-c's but not really liking any of the colors... although i found someone selling a set of 2 17x7 and 2 17x8 for $650 in bronze... but i really want something in black with a polished lip

yeah, i'm really not a fan of the s13 fronts just because they're too boxy and it does'nt flow right with the fastback's curves... also does'nt help that 80% of the time when i see them they are'nt painted.. hehe. He did'nt like the pop up headlights? I actually like them.. lol, i hated them at first but i love them now

I'm looking to stay with the 4 lug as well. I puirchased a whide body fender kit for my old S13 when I put on the S13 Silvia front end, I think I'm going to go wide again. I'm more than likely getting Gold w/polished lip Volk GT-7s 18x8 +24 up front and 18x11 +11 in the back. Prolly gonna be running like a 275/35-285/40 tires back there as well. Those come in gunmetal/polished and range from 7.5"-12" wide with offsets from -2 to +43. My second choice are Gram light 57s, also multiple colors size/offsets. Some Volks/Grams start at about $300ea for 17s, not too bad for a wheel you know fits right on a RWD 4lug car.

he did, but some guy from the neighborhood had it on his car and bought the kit plus the carbon fiber hood for $1500...he decided to sell it to my brother (with the lights) for $350 so he couldn't pass it up.

I liked it better with the flip up head lights. The conversion makes the car look different, and he'll probably get looks from the enthusiast...i just don't like it at all. makes the car look too MADMAX, per say...

that's cool. I have'nt thought about 18's simply cuz it looks weird on s13's unless you have some sort of body kit... the volks seem very appealing but they're so much $$$!!! lol... I guess i should'nt cheap out anywhere on my car.. but the fn01r-c's are very cheap considering and pretty good widths.. but not really liking the look of them or bronze on my car.. the GT-7's are really nice though =)
